RecapBrandon Williamson allowed five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday.
The left-hander struck out three and walked three while posting just a nine percent swinging strike rate and 22 percent CSW. His cutter was really the only pitch he had working here, throwing it for a strike 70 percent of the time and posting a 20 percent swinging strike rate. He failed to miss bats with many of his other pitches, and the Rays weren’t chasing anything out of the zone. If Nick Lodolo (blister) is finally able to make his return from the injured list, then it’s likely that Williamson will lose his spot in the rotation.
